Oops - I thought it was the first Streets of Rage. That explains it - I already had the second. Thanks :)

Thanks for the explanation! It turned out I already owned Streets of Rage 2 (+ two other games), and The Revenge of Shinobi got added as a DLC.

Thank you, I appreciate the answer! I'll run them for a while :)

Not sure but the original Total War: Warhammer might be included as well as it is mentioned at bottom of the page under featured games. It seems unclear.

Thanks for the response. I have CoH 2 so I guess I can play/idle that.

It's been a while since I walked somebody through setting up ASF or set up mine so I have already forgotten a lot of things and a lot has changed since then but I'll try my best ;)

2 questions: Are you running more that 1 account so you can give commands via chat without the Steam group workaround ?

Does ASF already recognize commands (when you send them to one of your bots via Steam chat)? You can test by trying some simple command like checking what ASF is currently doing with the command:

!sa

which is the short version of the command

!status ASF

[Edited to make it more comprehensive]

If you don't have ASF set up to take commands:

Whatever directory ASF is installed in will contain a config directory.

In that directory will be a number of .json files (if you don't have your computer set up to show file extensions, and aren't comfortable working with a simple text editor like NotePad, you should probably avoid doing this: programs like Word can add extra characters/hidden formatting characters when you save, or change the file extension without you knowing it).
ASF usually has ASF.json [the overall program configuration file], example.json, and minimal.json.
You'll also have a bunch of other .json files that should correspond to the name of accounts you've set up bots for (a main bot and alt bots).

For each of those accountname.json files, open the file in a text editor like NotePad (I'm using NotePad++. For NotePad, you'll have to change it to look for any extension vs just .txt files to see the .json files).

Add this line to the .json configuration of a particular account (this will idle Company of Heroes 2 [appid 231430] but you can idle one of the other eligible games if you prefer.

"GamesPlayedWhileIdle": [231430],

If you're adding it as the final line, you don't need to have the comma at the end, but there should be one before it:

,"GamesPlayedWhileIdle": [231430]

[From what I understand, ASF does allow the GamesPlayedWhileIdle function to idle up to 32 games at once, but I don't know how SEGA is counting up the play hours—or if they're on the lookout for 'fraud'—and since a part of signing up included giving them API access to our accounts, I'm not idling multiple games at once.]

So here's what a complete .json file might look like depending on what options you've configured before:

{"name":"BotName","SteamLogin":"SteamAccountName","SteamPassword":"SteamAccountPassword","Enabled":true,"Paused":false,"PasswordFormat":0,"AutoDiscoveryQueue":true,"FarmOffline":false,"GamesPlayedWhileIdle": [231430],"IsBotAccount":true}

The above was for an alt account, so "IsBotAccount": is set to true, for the main account you can leave that line out altogether:

{"name":"BotName","SteamLogin":"SteamAccountName","SteamPassword":"SteamAccountPassword","Enabled":true,"Paused":false,"PasswordFormat":0,"AutoDiscoveryQueue":true,"FarmOffline":false,"GamesPlayedWhileIdle": [231430]}

Save the file (should save as a simple text file with .json extension), and whenever you don't have cards to farm, ASF should idle the game you chose.

ASF won't appear to be doing anything, but if you check your profile—use a browser, not the Steam client—it should show you in game Company of Heroes 2 (or whatever game you chose).

If this didn't work, check the config directory, and make sure the .json file didn't wind up saved as botname.json.txt (If so, you likely have botname.json [the old version of the file], and botname.json.txt [the newly edited version] in that directory, and will have to delete or rename the botname.json file to something like botname.json.old [don't try something like botnameold.json, otherwise ASF will try and run it as another bot], then rename the botname.json.txt to botname.json.

Remember to take "GamesPlayedWhileIdle": [231430] out after the event, otherwise you'll be idling the game anytime you don't have any cards to farm!

Daaaaaaaamn, no lie, you got me good there mate ahahahah, shit im dumb, its the same scenario, youre right, you guessed it, i fucking suck at both..... nyeah, just basic playtime but thing is.... im not interested in WWII campaigns....just seems boring to me.....been there done that in CoDs. RTS just...ugh...no....its hard for me to think about doing that, multiplayer seemed like the most interesting and the meat of the game, but youre right, campaigns are there.

The first Company of Heroes, the only good reward as the rest is unavaivable, uninterested DLC and previously owned games. Thanks for letting me know mate.

Company of Heroes, the first one? Yeah, good, the rest, unobtainable or not interested in. I did get the two sega classics, didnt at first but do now. So i dont have to play then, alright, good, because the last time i played CoH2, made me never, ever want to play it again, horrible online expierience man, just years ago when Company of Heroes Online Free to play beta was a thing, just not good for casuals man...and dont have to pick teams this time either, alright, thanks.

sure, you´re right. I am also hoping the pace picks up when the americans join

Dawn of War 3
Company of Heroes 2
Endless Space 2
Total War Warhammer titles

I also have the games already but i get stuck at confirm your email and cant check the competition status i can only see like the hours other players have played. I cant click anything besides the confirm your email box
